    Loop of Henle: countercu rent multiplier, low in opposite directions

    uxtaglom erular cells: 5/7/12 distal

    Endocrine role of kidney:

    5/7/12

    Digestion
    Catabolic Breakdown Anabolic Synthesis

    Enzymatic hydrolysis (ex: polysacch to disacch)

    Secretions come from endocrine and exocrine glands. Exocrine glands (liver, gallbladder, gut and pancreas)

    Gastric cells: acid in stomach Goblet cells: mucus Achinar cells: bile in pancreas

    Endocrine cells include the pancreatic Islets of Langerhans Other secretions
